On EX4300 Series switches with TCAM optimization enabled, incoming multicast traffic matches an implicit loopback filter rule first, since it has high priority. This rule is meant for reserved multicast addresses 224.0.0.x, but incorrectly matches on 224.x.x.x. Due to this bug, when a firewall filter is applied on the loopback interface, other firewall filters might stop working for multicast traffic.

The command ' show firewall filter ' can be used to confirm whether the filter is working.

This issue only affects the EX4300 switch. No other products or platforms are affected by this vulnerability.
